Hi, I have 8yr experience in the IT industry and want to start preparing for GMAT May,2014. The biggest hurdle I'm facing is where to start and how to start. Which books, which website for mock exams etc.? Basis whatever I've read so far to update myself, would it be sufficient if I dedicate 2-3 hrs daily and 5-6 hrs on the weekends.

Expert suggestions wanted.

Although there is no one study strategy that can guarantee you a specific score, we have done some surveys of GMAT test-takers and have found some common study habits.
